Former Dartmouth standout Anne Kennedy ’07 returned to her alma mater to serve as an assistant women's crew coach in July of 2010.

Since graduation, Kennedy has continued to row with the US
National program and has coached in California, including serving as the head
women's crew coach at Santa Clara University this past season.

"We are thrilled that Anne is returning to Dartmouth to join
our coaching staff," said Levash. "She provided excellent leadership as our
team captain when she was a student-athlete here and her passion for the sport
has only grown since graduation. We all will benefit from her drive, enthusiasm,
and experience."

At Santa Clara, Kennedy was responsible for all aspects of
the Broncos' NCAA Division I women's rowing program including training,
recruiting and competition. Her lightweight four boat raced to a bronze medal
at the Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships.

Kennedy's first coaching stint came at Cal Berkeley where
she served as an assistant coach for the Bears during the 2007-08 season. She
coached Cal's varsity four boat to a fourth-place finish at the NCAA
Championships, where the team took third overall in the nation.

From September 2008 to July 2009, Kennedy was in residence
at the US Rowing Training Center in Princeton, N.J., training at the elite
level for sculling and sweep rowing. She was no stranger to the US Rowing
program, having competed for the US Under-23 National Team in both 2006 and
2007, winning the gold medal at the U-23 World Championship in 2006 and bronze
in 2007.

At Dartmouth, Kennedy was a member of the first Varsity
Eight for three seasons. She was a first team All-America as a senior in 2007,
leading the Varsity Eight to an NCAA Championship appearance and eighth place
finish.
